Tech billionaire Elon Musk has joined critics of the political violence that is erupting in the United States, peaking this week with the assassination of conservative activist and icon Charlie Kirk.
Only he's putting blame.
"The Left is the party of murder," he said.
His comments were in response to a discussion about teachings from "the Left" about violence in America.
In addition to the assassination of Kirk, there have been two recent assassination attempts against President Donald Trump. There have been multiple school shootings, including prominent slaughters carried out by transgender individuals. There has been, over recent years, billions of dollars in damages from rioting in American cities by Black Lives Matter, Antifa, and other leftist organizations.
Those comments, from Shaun Maguire, were, "The Left lectured us for the last decade about the dangers of violence from the Right From the assassination attempts of President Trump To Brian Thompson, the United Healthcare CEO, being murdered Now to Charlie Kirk The danger was actually on the Left."
Musk's response was terse, "The Left is the party of murder."
On a minor competitor to Musk's X, Bluesky, a multitude of comments actually celebrated the assassination. A number of people were fired from their jobs because their employers no longer could accept their hate and advocacy for violence.
Musk responded to some of the calls for violence with, "They are celebrating cold-blooded murder. Shows what we're dealing with. Evil people."
The Daily Mail explained, "Musk continued blaming the 'radical Left' for Kirk's murder by claiming they are responsible for numerous politically motivated murders."
Following Kirk's death, President Donald Trump addressed the nation from the Oval Office with a solemn message criticizing the "demonization' of political opponents," the report said.
Many leaders of both parties have expressed condolences to Kirk's family, but leftist members in the U.S. Congress and the EU Parliament both refused to tolerate a moment of silent prayer requested for Kirk.
